Slow down. Simplify. Sleep with your ear to the earth. This is the ultimate guide to the art and joy of living outdoors, under canvas.

Whether it’s a fast-and-light backpacking adventure, a sea kayak safari, a family camping trip, or simply living and cooking outside in your garden, camping can do it all. Offering an escape from the stresses of everyday life, the art of camping lies in living simply, well. It’s about paring back our busy, hyperconnected modern lives and embracing the many joys of living more slowly and connecting more meaningfully.

The Camping Bible is the complete reference for newcomers and lifelong campers alike. Discover new adventures and clever hacks for Proper Camping, sleeping close to the earth in a shelter of stretched fabric held taught by pegs and guy lines, surrounded by the sounds of nature.

It includes:

- a complete introduction for beginners: tent selection; pitching tips; setting up portable kitchens - family-friendly advice: making the tent a home; entertaining kids in bad weather - glamping with bell tents and tipis: how to create a luxurious experience - ideas and advice for seasoned campers: ‘The Art of the Tarp’, camp cookery; sustainability

Written by passionate and highly experienced outdoor experts, The Camping Bible is packed with wisdom, step-by-step instructions, tried-and-tested advice, top tips, recommended gear, adventure ideas, and beautiful photography and illustrations.
